(فَضِيلَةُ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ)
(The virtue of Banu Tamim)
Hadith 5987
وَعَن أبي هُرَيْرَة قَالَ: مَا زِلْتُ أُحِبُّ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ مُنْذُ ثلاثٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ فِيهِمْ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: «هُمْ أَشَدُّ أُمَّتِي عَلَى الدَّجَّالِ» قَالَ: وَجَاءَتْ صَدَقَاتُهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَذِهِ صَدَقَاتُ قَوْمِنَا» وَكَانَتْ سَبِيَّةٌ مِنْهُمْ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَ: «اعْتِقِيهَا فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ» . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ
I have continued to love the B. Tamim since hearing three things from God's messenger which I heard him say about them. I heard him say, "They will be the most valiant fighters among my people against the dajjal." When they brought their Sadaqat God's messenger said, "These are the sadaqat of our people." `A'isha had a woman captive who belonged to them, and he said, set her free, for she is a child of Ishmael." (Bukhari and Muslim.)
